Power owns truth

This is a lesson for all of us, but especially for me: Power owns truth. Believing is seeing.

Working in oil and gas as I have all these years, I have met and worked with technically brilliant people. The science of finding oil in the ground is one that requires both high intelligence and nuance – the technical data tells them things, but they have another voice that plays along side that data and offers another interpretation. That is high intelligence – not a rote reading of data, but an integration of data and experience, scientific knowledge and sideways vision. That is the case with every serious profession out there except economics. And yet these same brilliant people fall for easily detected political lies, impossible coincidence and manufactured evidence. Power owns truth.

I can be played, like anyone, based on my sympathies. Apple computers are just like all other computers, but their advertising created an aura, and I bought in. I’m older now and can see through advertising, and movies have to be very good to even be memorable. But our churches are filled with older people who are still muttering the prayers embedded in their minds in their youth, turning their money over to the likes of Pat Robertson. He’s an actor, a man who is knowingly fleecing people, becoming a billionaire in the process. It is no surprise the that he ran for president, merely taking the act to another level. (It is also no surprise to learn that Billy Graham urged Richard Nixon to bomb the dikes in North Vietnam, killing maybe two million people. It appears from evidence up there that our military murderers tried and failed.) Politics and religion are variations on the same theme.

This the human condition. It will not change. All that we can do is find other people like us and work for those good things we want. We don’t need a huge following. It only takes a few people. We only need a common objective. Democracy is a joke, as enough people can always be fooled to preserve the existing power arrangement. Obama was voted to power after all – as easy as it is to see through him, in the public mind he can fly through a steel building without encountering resistance.

All it takes is a small group of dedicated people to make change happen. They don’t succeed by standing on a soapbox, but rather by using intelligence and experience seeking maximum bang for buck. Strategery. If change does not happen, that small group of dedicated people still have optimism of spirit.

  1. The following is full of opinion and speculation.

    Ego-conscious thinking represents a fraction of one’s psychic capacity. It dominates human existence in western culture, making us easy prey for propaganda of any color or fashion. Institutions lock in perceptions and power by keeping you separate from your unconscious (subconscious). Intellegence without access to one’s unconscious is not much of an improvement over cookie-cutter, political, or religious, self-encarceration. When the walls come down, people have a chance to think for themselves, and live exciting and creative lives. Sadly, most lack curiousity, and never come close to understanding how beautifully the human brain can work when it’s not bombarded with bullshit every waking minute.

  2. Mark, pull your head out. I never wrote that I can prove Newton wrong. I can prove Newton right, just as many have concerning 9/II. The fact that you don’t ‘get it’ really is the joke … On you. It’s appalling how much you assume the view of others and actually ignore the facts around you.

    1. Oh, all right: I should not humor you, as I think you’re nuts. But let’s leave the philosophy department, where you now tell me you never said you were the best student ever, and go to engineering, where you took a few courses. Did you ever earn a degree, by the way? In anything?

      We’re talking about a building with steel trusses, an inner core of 47 very thick beams, and an outer wall of steel beams. It’s overbuilt, redundant, designed to withstand the impact of a 707, the largest commercial airliner of that time. We’re talking about an aircraft weighing several tons, made mostly of aluminum, and not capable of flying at more than 250 knots or so at that altitude, but which was said to be going almost 500 mph. The story is that the two collided, that the building offered no resistance, that all parts of the aircraft were destroyed, and that even the wing tips, the lightest part, were absorbed by the building, leaving a cartoon-like imprint.

      Newton says that it does not matter which object moves or is stationary, and that the action of either creates an equal and opposite reaction in the other. You are saying that Newton didn’t say that, just like you never wrote a post on your blog, which I guess I never read, about your philosophy studies, your 4.0 average, and your teachers commenting that you were perhaps the best ever there.

      This is why I think you’re just plain nuts, but go ahead now, and tell me why Newton predicts what happens in that gif.

      1. Ad Hominems are pointless when discussing physics, Mark.

        Actually, if you’d bother to learn a thing or two, Newton’s law states quite clearly that motion matters. F =F. F = m times a. A is a function of motion. Have you ever even bothered to consider, in your incurious life, how things actually work? Do kindly tell us how a 10 pound saw blade can cut down a 1 ton tree. Anything? Do you have anything? How can a 5 ounce ceramic blade cut through a tin can? How can a one ounce steel can opener slice the top off of a 1 steel pound can? These are not inappropriate or untoward questions, Tokarski. They are right to the point you seem committed to missing.

          A ten lb saw can cut down a tree because the tree is made of wood, the saw of metal, a far denser material. A ceramic blade can cut through a tin can (I assume you are posing a valid example) if the ceramic is not so brittle as to shatter, so that it can be forced through the tin. (Ceramic can be made very hard and withstands high heat, but brittleness is a problem.) And I can cut the tops off of tin cans with a metal can opener because one is hardened steel, the other tin.

          Aluminum is softer than steel. I cannot cut down a ten ton lamp post with a saw made of wood, no matter how fast it goes. WTF kind of Newtonian physics did you study? You are the perfect example of the typical American, other than you are such an asshole and most are not – you have completely allowed your mind to be governed by the authority posturing of others. You’re not thinking your own thoughts. Believing is seeing.

    1. I’ll remember that the next time I spill a glass of water, that it might cause a hole in the floor. I think you are talking about erosion. They do use water to cool blades as they cut through metal, but they do not use water as a kinetic force to cut metal.

      I do know where the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone came from, and that water did that.

      For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
      The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs – equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs.

      Now no one is saying that the building would not be damaged by being hit by an airliner. The reason for the huge redundancy in construction of the Towers was that the Empire State Building had been hit by a plane years before, in the days of propellers, and they wanted to be sure that the building could withstand modern jets of the day, the 707. So a real jet hitting it would damage the building, but the building would absorb the blow in a spider web fashion, and the force directed back at the jet would cause it to crumple, perhaps explode, and identifiable parts would be everywhere below.

      And remember, it makes no difference what is in motion, what is stationary. Plane hits building, building damaged, plane crushed. What happened in the gif is impossible. Period.

      People get really upset about implying that they don’t think their own thoughts. But I’ll give you an example: The “Tea Party” did not spring up spontaneously. It was suggested via TV and people, thinking they were acting independently, followed certain leaders – it was all done by suggestion and group think. I speculate on why – that Obama, who is quite a right winger, needed to be perceived as a lefty, so that opposition from the right wing TP nuts gave the appearance of Obama being their opposite.

      That’s thought control. “Killing” bin Laden was thought control, a psy-op. If you ever listen to talk radio, all you will hear all day long is people echoing ideas that did not originate in their own brains. We are only talking about deficits because it is suggested to us that they are a problem and they want to attack social programs. “Free markets” is a meme, and not something real, but we all think they are real.

        1. The pumpkin video was CGI. How can you not see that? The object shot from the cannon is not orange. The van has a erratic outline around it due to it being superimposed via computer imaging.

          And I can show you, step by step, how the gif of the jet going into the tower above was constructed. But to do that I’d have to send you to a site where they offer up evidence, and you would not go there, but rather to a “debunking” site where they would reassure you that everything you know is true, and then you would come back and say “I looked at the evidence and don’t buy it.” Debunking is part of the thought control regime, to keep you away from the evidence. The evidence causes cognitive dissonance, extreme discomfort, so they offer you comfort. They know you go to debunking sites, and not to the evidence itself. They know you better than you know yourself.

          I do not have to be a physicist to see what is impossible. It is not “foolish certainty” to be skeptical of official truth. In fact, official truth ought to be held up to higher standards of evidence than anything, as government has so much incentive to keep us in the dark.

            1. Do not confuse thought control with Satan. It’s standard operating procedure, and I think the only reason we have been so successful as a species. But it is both our friend and enemy. I’ll put it to you bluntly: The great mass of people are ignorant and uneducated. Individually we might find them smart enough to make a living and build cars and do tax returns, but in matters of international relations and domestic policy, very few take the time to study. At the same time, we think of ourselves as a democratic republic, and people need to believe that they have a role in self-governance. But even if we did take time and study affairs closely, we are also emotional and likely to change our minds at the drop of a hat. Countries cannot be run like that – worse yet, leaders cannot have public opinion interfering with management of a country.

              So public opinion is rarely heeded. It is managed. The control of public opinion is a studied science that came about in the early 20th century. I’ll cite Edward Bernays below, as I cannot cross-copy right now for unknown reasons. Anyway, we are given “issues” to debate, and politicians dutifully talk about those issues as a distraction, as the politicians are not even running the country. We are fed ideas via suggestion, and are constantly manipulated via entertainment and “news.” We are kept in the dark about the most important issues of the day, such as the reasons for war and aggression.

              It is about the only system that can work, but it only works if we have good leaders who want what is best for us. That ended decades ago, maybe never existed. We are now a “pathocracy,” or under control of psychopaths – not the public faces we know, but quiet power. Many trace this to the death of JFK, but I tend to think it goes back to the end of World War II. We more or less created the monster that rules us now during that war. We are slowly becoming fascist, with the Bill of Rights becoming a meaningless piece of paper. It’s going on right in the open now, with drones in all major cities and Obama claiming the right to detain us without charges and murder us without any legal procedure beforehand. And the reason he can do this is becuase we are afraid, and we are afraid due to 9/11.

              It’s not new. It’s as old as time. If I told you that the people of North Korea are in a thought control regime, which they obviously are, you’d have no trouble with the concept. Because I say we are them, they are us, you’re troubled. Deal with it.

            2. Here is Edward Bernays, the “Father of Modern Advertising,” writing about what I call “thought control” back in 1928. Keep in mind that he was part of an emerging science, that women had just gotten the vote, so that leadership was scared shitless of the public. In addition, the Creel Commission had just run the first successful agitprop campaign to get the US to enter World War I, so successful in fact that even they were surprised. This model would become the dominant propaganda model throughout the world, used not only in politics, but advertising as well. (If you don’t like the expression “thought control,” which I happen to think as the best descriptor, you can think of it as “manufacturing consent” (Lippmann), or “necessary illusions (Niebuhr). In any case, it is a set of practices designed to get the public at large to think as leadership wants them to think.

              Modern Propaganda is a consistent, enduring effort to create or shape events to influence the relations of the public to an enterprise, idea or group.

              Small groups of persons can, and do, make the rest of us think what they please about a given subject. But there are usually proponents and opponents of every propaganda, both of whom are equally eager to convince the majority.

              The systematic study of mass psychology revealed to students the potentialities of invisible manipulation of motives which actuate man in the group. Trotter and Le Bon, who approached the subject in a scientific manner, and Graham Wallas, Walter Lippmann, and others who continued with searching study of the group mind, established that the group has mental characteristics distinct from those of the individual, and is motivated by impulses and emotions which cannot be explained on the basis of what we know of individual psychology. So the question naturally arose: If we understood the mechanism and motives of the group mind, is it not possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing it?

              This general principle that men are very largely actuated by motives which they conceal from themselves is as true of mass as of individual psychology. It is evident that the successful propagandist must understand the true motives and not be content to accept the reasons that men give for what they do.

              No serious sociologist any longer believes that the voice of the people expresses any divine or specially wise and lofty idea. The voice of the people expresses the mind of the people, and that mind is made up for it by group leaders in who it believes and by those persons who understand the manipulation of public opinion. It is composed of inherited prejudices and symbols and clichés and verbal formulas supplied to them by the leaders.

              Political campaigns today are all side shows, all honors, all bombast, glitter and speeches. These are for the most part unrelated to the main business of studying the public scientifically, or supplying the public with party, candidate, platform and performance, and selling the public these ideas and practices.

              The important thing for the statesman of our age is not so much to know how to please the public, but how to sway the public. In theory, this education might be done by means of learned pamphlets explaining the intricacies of public question. In actual fact, it can be done only by meeting the conditions of the public mind, by creating circumstances which set up trains of thought, by dramatizing personalities, by establishing contact with the group leaders who control the opinions of their public.

              “The function of the statesman,” says George Bernard Shaw, “is to express the will of the people in the way of a scientist.”

Meteorologists can predict with a high degree of accuracy that they are going to do this based on the position of the jet stream and areas of high pressure, which force large systems of low pressure to go that way almost every time. As a result, the news media does not make a big deal out of these storms. It happens every year. I know this. I didn’t go to a debunking site to figure it out. I pay attention to these things, and have been doing so for years.

The evidence surrounding that area has abundant evidence of directed energy effects, which are electrical events. These would include toasted cars, twisted metal, plasma that does not give off heat, buildings that appear to be giving off shaving lather before turning to dust, and much, much more. A large electrical event would explain the magnometer fluctuations. Hurricanes are electrical phenomenon, which is why so much lightening is associated with them. So the coincidence of a hurricane being off the east coast that day is indeed weird. But no one says they know that for sure. Since you have not read any of Dr. Wood’s work, you have no basis for your claim that I am merely believing her without adequate skepticism. Until you look at that evidence, that is mere defensive posturing on your part.

                    What is weird is that the hurricane was not reported. Since the national hurricane center did not know its path, it seems likely that local weather reporters did not either. And hurricanes are news feeding frenzies, as there is no politics or power involved so that there are no filters stopping reporters. But they did not report on this one.

Do you understand that, having not looked at the evidence, that there were a host of unexplained phenomena that day, so that a hurricane off the coast of NY was also unusual when taken in light of everything else. You do get that.

  3. Hurricane Humberto was a moderately powerful hurricane that briefly affected Bermuda in September 2001. It was the eighth named storm of the season, as well as the fourth hurricane. It formed on September 21 between Puerto Rico and Bermuda, partially related to previous Hurricane Gabrielle. Humberto passed about 140 miles (225 km) west of Bermuda, which spared the island with its strongest winds. After weakening and believed to be on the verge of dissipating, Humberto unexpectedly restrengthened to the southeast of Atlantic Canada. The intensification was short-lived and the storm dissipated on September 27. There were a series of significant observational flights into the hurricane that produced a wealth of data on the structure of hurricanes.

    Erin was much bigger. But again, you are running a distraction/misdirection campaign here. I do wish you would look at all the evidence, which takes considerable time and effort, and them deal with it as a whole. And Dr. Wood draws no conclusions about Erin other than the dog that did not bark. But what happened to the seven WTC buildings that day is was destruction by some weapon we’ve never seen before that required a huge amount of new energy, and did not leave enough debris to register a significant seismic signal. Building 7 left hardly any seismic signal. In other words, they had been subjected to some kind of molecular dissociation.

    Ask yourself “What is it that prevents me from looking at the evidence?” Dr. Wood conjectures three possibilities: 1) you have poor problem-solving skills, not uncommon when everyone is studying for a life-course-determining multiple choice test; 2) group think, and 3) the implications are terrifying. I’m going with 2 and 3. Go look at the evidence.

Not a single hurricane has ever been that far east of the NE coast and subsequently turned west to make landfall. It’s never happened. That’s why the media ignored it. That’s why they always ignore it. Every time. So the storm’s path was not an anomaly, and the media’s behavior was not an anomaly.

It’s not that it happened, but that it happened on that day in conjunction with so many other things. The question is: Are these related phenomena? And the answer is unknown. Dr. Wood only gathers evidence and does not speculate, which is why I like her.

        Or go to a Judy Wood debunking site.

      2. Steve T, What are you contending that Dr wood asserted that you are asserting she was wrong about?

        Is she wrong to say that a hurricane is essentially a natural Tesla Coil?

        Was she inaccurate to claim that thunder and lightning were reported at all three area airports,
        (Newark, Kennedy, and LaGuardia) on the morning of 9/11/01 proving that a static field from the hurricane was present at the WTC on the morning of 9/11/01 ?

        Are her pictures of the hurricane false?

        Are her diagrams of the hurricane’s path and progress false or incorrect?

        Is her claim that Erin was under-reported false or somehow incorrect?

        I don’t understand what you are asserting that Dr Wood was wrong about as concerns hurricane Erin, Steve T.

          1. I read what you wrote. You said Dr Wood is wrong about this. I want to know in what way she is wrong?

            “No. I’m not going to do your jumping jacks. She is wrong on this, and so are you. It’s possible that the rest of your evidence, when looked at, proves that an energy device was used that day.”

            Dr Wood never has claimed to prove a directed energy weapon was used on 9/11/01. She has claimed to have evidence

            What she says is that she knows where all of the anomalous effects observed at and about the WTC on and about 9/11/01 have been duplicated in a lab. From powered metal, to cool plasma-like fires, to fuming, to levitation, to metal turning jelly-like, to far higher than background levels of tritium, to the fusion of unlike materials, etc.

            She says that in 1979 John Hutchison discovered a unique set of phenomena in his lab while attempting to recreate the experiments of Nicola Tesla. He created a static field using either a couple of Tesla coils or a Van de Graf generator and then disturbed the field with high frequency radio waves. Dubbed the Hutchison effect, these phenomena have been studied by numerous scientists as well as our Dept of Defense.

            Your dad said Erin was curious. He said it’s a natural mystery. He may find it curious or a mystery. She didn’t say those things. So maybe your thinks it’s curious or a natural mystery.

            But you also blamed Dr Wood. You said she was wrong. How was she wrong, what is she wrong about? I don’t know Dr Wood personally and I’d love to hear some good honest criticism of her work.

            1. I said it was a curiosity when taken into account with all of the other events of that day, but by itself was not a long-odds event. It is not a natural mystery.

              We are not dealing with scientific phenomena here. We are dealing with cognitive dissonance. Steve and Jack and Monty and Ed and others will not go look at evidence because it creates discomfort. Instead, they go to “debunking” sites that give them comfort, and never confront the evidence. It’s a safe harbor.

              And it is the human condition, at least as far as I can see. Most people just accept what they see on their TV’s as reality, and never have to confront doubt. But when called out, when challenged, the walls go up. Steve, to his credit, is willing to admit to some leaks in the dike, but to the rest, official truth is God’s truth.

            2. Jennifer Michael Hecht wrote a lovely book called “Doubt: A History” that merely retraces the steps of great people in history who doubted conventional thinking and often paid with their lives. I drew these quotes from her book:

              By fearing whom I trust I find my way
              To truth; by trusting wholly I betray
              The trust of wisdom; better far is doubt
              Which brings the false into the light of day.

              Abdallah al-Ma’arri (973-1057)

              Doubt is the beginning, not the end, of the wisdom. (George Iles 1842-1952)

              Great doubt: great awakening. Little doubt: little awakening. No doubt: no awakening.(Zen dictum)

              Considering how dangerous it is made to tell the truth, ’tis difficult to know when any man declares his real sentiments of things. (John Toland 1670-1722)

              There is nothing new under the sun.

    1. Yes it is. One, it sat stationary all day that day. Two, and this is where coincidence plays a role, the odds of Erin be there may not be long, but those odds AND the odds of a large directed energy event requiring a huge energy source AND significant fluctuations in the earth’s magnetic fields makes it a curiosity. From a statistical standpoint the odds of two events happening at once are calculated by multiplication of the denominator. So, the chance of rolling two dice and getting a 12 are 1/36, or 6×6. The chance of doing it twice in a row are 1/1296. But that is because the two events are related to each other – the same thing has to happen twice. If two events are not related, that calculation cannot be used.

      So the question is: Is the presence of Erin RELATED to the other events of that day? Given the once-in-a-lifetime nature of that day, I cannot remove it from weird shit happening that day. And again, I do not speculate as to what was done. I cannot know things like that.

      And again, if you’ve not seen the evidence, you’re out in left field.

      1. Even if Hurricane Erin was stationary that day (it wasn’t), it wouldn’t be unusual. Hurricanes stay stationary when boxed in by high pressure ridges. This is why they can be so damaging in places like Guatemala and Honduras, because they will just sit there and dump rain for days on end, causing mudslides and mass casualties. I guess those could be as a result of energy weapons too, but I doubt it.

        Dr. Judy Wood, in her presentation that you linked to (and I watched), said that it was unusual for the hurricane to head east when it is so close to making landfall. She is wrong. There has never been a hurricane that far east that has made landfall ever. She said it’s strange that it was stationary. On that point, she’s wrong on two fronts – it wasn’t stationary and it wouldn’t be unusual even if it was. She’s either stupid or lying on this front – and although I’m tempted to go with option B, I’ll stick with A. She doesn’t have the foggiest idea what she’s talking about.

        I’m not talking about your other evidence. I’m talking about this one piece. Your inability to admit that you are wrong on this throws into doubt everything else you put up in relation to 9/11. You refuse to take the word of someone who actually pays attention to this stuff in favor of your trusted sources who obviously know nothing about hurricane patterns. This makes it clear that you are unable to get out of your conspiracy bubble.

        There is nothing unusual about Hurricane Erin’s path or the lack of reporting on it. It happens every single year. EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR. The odds of a hurricane being in the Atlantic during Hurricane season are high, and the odds of it heading out to sea when it is that far off the coast are 100%. You may have a conspiracy on your hands, but the hurricane wasn’t a part of it.

        After all the words we’ve written on this stuff, I’m actually really surprised at your inability to eat your hat here. You’re wrong, and it’s time to get over it.

        1. Well, for one thing, I don’t want to eat my hat because I did not bring this up. You did. I did a core dump back in November in a post called “Psy-Op” and tried to gather up everything I had learned to that point. I deliberately decided to leave Erin out because it is too weird. Dr. Wood was also advised to stay away from it, as people would use that as a credibility lever, but she thought it was raw data and worth putting out there. That’ all she does – compile data and offer evidence.

          I read her chapter on Erin, and was frankly confused. She went into some higher math to calculate Accumulated Cyclone Energy, and as soon as I see a formula using a summation symbol, exponents top and bottom of fractions, my brain goes dead. And her major interest was field effects, Tesla coils and all of that, the subtext obviously being that Erin might have been the source for the energy that destoryed seven buildings that day. But the implication is weather control, and if that technology exists, it is secret. The defense department is usually years, even decades ahead of the public in technology, as they are on a constant quest to weaponize any new development.

          She is not full of shit about Erin, and her data, as far as I can see in her book is all sourced to government [science] agencies. “Stationary” might be relative – her words are The data show that Erin slowed down as it approached New York, and then remained almost stationary during the morning of 9/11. …For the 24 hours surrounding the events of 9/11, Hurricane Erin maintained the same wind speed, the same pressure, and approximately the same distance from New York City.

          And again, yes I know that hurricanes go up the east coast and them out to sea, and that it is not unusual for one not to make landfall, and I have to take your word that meteorologists often don’t report them, as I have no way to access that kind of data.

          The chapter of the book is actually fascinating as I look at it now, and if you are a weather nerd, you’d like it. Erin was apparently used as an experiment for a study to improve hurricane tracking predictions, allowing meteorologists to provide better warning to the public. It was analyzed during the fourth Convection and Moisture Experiment (CAMEX-4), which took place from August 16 through September 24th of 2001*. Researchers from ten universities, NASA and NOAA were all united in studying it. I’m quoting there roughly as I don’t want to type out that long passage.

          Anyway, I think you grossly underestimate the esteemed Dr. Wood’s scientific creds here. I wish I could just plop the book in your lap and let you have a look at it.
